I am running the Exterme Engergy Comp 268.
I mentioned this before in an earlier post that I was having a tapping/ticking noise and I thought it was anything from colapsing lifters to loose rockers.
Turns out after talking to Comp and Trickflow(my new heads I installed) that the Extreme Energy cam is a noisy cam in general. The exhaust lobe profile closes so fast that it slams the valve shut and makes noise. It sounds SO much like I'm driving around in a truck with loose rockers and it's beginning to make me a little nutty.

What 'quiet' cams are ya'll runnin'?
